We determine the accounts receivable amount after sales return and allowances;

i.e

Account receivable = Sales - Sales return - Compensation Period

= $12,000 -$1,200 - $ 400

= $10,400

The cash discount = Account receivable × 2 %

= $10,400 × 0.02

= $208

The cash received amount = Account receivable × 98%

= $10,400 × 0.98

= $10,192

WinterDreams operates a Rocky Mountain ski resort. The company is planning its lift ticket pricing for the coming ski season. In

Kitty [74]

Answer:

a. Would Mountain Point emphasize target pricing or cost-plus pricing? Why?

They emphasize cost plus pricing because the investors are seeking a desired rate of return on their investment and they do it by adding the desired profit margin to their costs.

b. If other resorts in the area charge $66 per day, what price should Mount Snow charge?

$75.50 in order for them to generate the required ROI. Since the resort has a very good reputation, it can charge a higher price than its competitors.

Explanation:

company's assets = $115,000,000

expected return on investment = 16%

fixed costs = $35,600,000

number of customers = 800,000

variable costs = $8 per customer x 800,000 = $6,400,000

total costs = $42,000,000

total cost per client = $42,000,000 / 800,000 = $52.50

desired profit = $115,000,000 x 16% = $18,400,000

desired profit per client = $18,400,000 / 800,000 = $23

price per ticket = $75.50

Last year Bold and Best accounted for 56.5% of Baldwin's sales. Over the next few years, what should worry Baldwin's management

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

4 worries about Bold and Best (BB) are:

- Demand for BB may fall in the next few years, as customers are now less interested in purchasing BB or there is another substitute product for BB which is available in the market.

- Input costs/Production cost for BB may rise in the next few years, may be because of shortage of raw materials.

- The decline in BB sales may affect Baldwin's profitability as a whole because BB's revenue is currently the largest portion of the total revenue.

- Real purchasing power of customers fall because of a rise in expected inflation in the economy, which will lead to a fall in sales of BB.

The price of diamonds is high, in part because the majority of the world’s diamonds are controlled by a single firm. This is an

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

This is a case of monopoly market condition where there is a single firm operating the whole market. The price of the products is set by the single firm and the buyers in this market are price taker. The monopolist can earn normal profit, losses and abnormal profit in the short run and can earn normal profit and abnormal profit in the long run.

In our case, the price of diamonds is high because there is only single firm in the whole market and there is no other competitors in the market. That's why they are charging the higher prices.

Suppose the current issue of The New York Times reports an outbreak of mad cow disease in Nebraska, as well as the discovery of

Svetach [21]

Answer:

Price and quantity of chickens sold will increase.

Explanation:

Due to the prevalence of the mad cow disease, demand for cow meat will go down. Since chicken is a substitute for cow meat and there is a breed that grows twice as much with the same feeds, the demand for chicken will rise.

In economics when other factors apart from price changes it results in demand shift. In this instance demand will shift to the right.

As illustrated in the attached diagram, there will be higher quantity demanded at higher prices than before.

A theory asserts that consumers will purchase less of a good at higher prices than they will at lower prices.

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

b. It is likely that variables other than the price and quantity of cars demanded were

changing.

Explanation:

The law of demand states that the higher the price of a good, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price of a good, the higher the quantity demanded.

If price of cars was increasing and the quantity demanded also was increasing, it indicates other variables were changing. For example, if income was increasing at the time, the demand for cars would increase if cars are normal goods.
